@@Ishar___X I know of someone that managed to solve mathematical problems that has stumped mathematicians for a long time without even knowing he did.

And if you’re curious, his name is George Dantzig.
@@octavioavila6548 We know that isn’t true. Everyone has IQ and it increases through experience and studying (a lot more ways than you can imagine). Hard work is essential of making our neurons more pathways throughout the brain which greatly improves cognitive functions. But of course, intelligence and EQ on how you find answers is indeed important, but without hard work it is pointless if there is no long-term action (hard work is accompanied with discipline) because improvement requires different experiences and knowledges. ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ -Albert Einstein You have to work hard first because talent isn’t everything. Edit: My correction to your sentence would be, Hard work will always get you farther than talent. My mother who is great at math and is able to understand Calculus easily had difficulties with advanced topics which means you need more than just talent. And I who had terrible talent and no passion for math took me a while to complete my study, but I got better at understanding advanced topics due to the basics I’ve built up. (But I do agree that intelligence will definitely get you farther. But IQ isn’t simple, it can be improved through constant practice, discipline, and studying. Hard work is the process of increasing your IQ.)

Great advice: don't compare yourself with others, but rather with who you were some time ago. If you see others doing better than you, admire and learn from them. Then, strive to improve.
>admire and learn from them This is difficult to actually carry out in the real world, especially since narcissism culture is pushed so hard these days. Almost everyone on some level is trapped in the loop of comparison, and when you're in it you don't even realize it's happening, but your actions are completely motivated by fear.
We live in his mind when we explore free will as he saw it, he let us escape the Einstein process of God not playing dice with the universe. We have him to thank for this freedom of thought.
This deceptive, duplicitous bait-and-switch is why people no longer trust scientists any more. Mistitling written and video data elements has evolved to a very high level at the same time citizen IQs are lowering. This is no coincidence. Dr. Fauci is prime example.
@von.changfeng we got this, I'll start working hard as of today, in 5 months I'll be entering mechatronics project competitions, and I will start registering my company, I'll be putting more hours into my craft and here we go boys, let's work on our plans
I learned from one of my professors from my college that if you are losing interest in life or anything then you should just go deeper into it and look for the solutions and it will automatically brings interest in your life
thanks for sharing! idk if its depression or what, but the past few years now I have not been looking forward to the future. But now I have to change my mindset and look deeper for solutions
I wish I had your professor. Mine said "AI? Well that's pretty boring. You just throw more compute at it and magic happens. I want to understand what's going on."
Hits hard. I quit engineering studies because I was going nowhere with the effort I took. After being in depression I decided to look deep into it and I realised I liked writing more than doing problems. Now I am a Functional English major life is going good.☺
It's really something I needed to hear. I never worked hard in my life. To get my high school diploma, I never studied, but I got it. At university I dropped from Theoretial Physics as I didn't want to work and I knew I was about to fail as what I did in high shcool would not worked there. So I applied for my first programmer job and got it. 17 years later, I'm a software developer working for a big company. My coworkers all have phd's or master degree and I make a good amount of money. But I still have this dream to become an astrophysicist. So here I'm, going back to university to become what I wanted, ready to work hard to get it.
I'm at a similar roadblock. Kinda breezed through high school without putting in any actual effort, now stuck at college, trying to get through Computer Science, restarted (switched schools) 2 times now. Still not sure how to become adept at working hard.
i think it’s less about active studying as it is thinking about it ALL the time. active studying matters but when you love something you don’t stop studying when you close a textbook. i’d bet people like feynman never stop thinking about how the world works
I'd say anyone who's studying/reaserching something that really pokes their interest would probably do the same or similar if not same. For example I in generally love biology chemistry and physics and when I stop studying I'd continue thinking about them in the background of my mind. Sometimes if I'm sitting with someone while thinking they'd be mad at me for "not being here" and not talking to them so yeah I think it's all about interest + the more you know the more information you have to use to think.
That's true of many artists and musicians also. I have a friend who's a classical composer. Sometimes when she's working on a new piece she'll forget to eat or sleep for a day or two.
I am so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed forever. I'm a single mother living in Vancouver Canada, bought my first house in October and hoping to retire soon if things keep going smoothly for me
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
To make an image of what he says, kids learn their first language by listening, talking, making mistakes and practicing without worrying about looking silly. How they do NOT learn is by sitting down and cramming grammar rules and aiming at perfect spelling on the first try. That's how you ''study hard'' and ''study smart''.
That's just wrong. I mean if you have to sound like a 4 year old you could have a go at it but grammar, active listening, learning from your past mistakes etc. are simply THE way to learn a language. Not to mention a child's world is small and a number of things you have to know is ridiculously limited which is alright for a child but not for an adult.
@@СергейПлугатырёв that would mean people before formal education didn’t learn their languages past the level of a 4 yo.. nonsense. You don’t learn your first language in school, you learn it by trial and error. That said, formal language training applied effectively utilizes the high intelligence, focus and experience of adults to learn languages in a more time efficient manner.
@@Moltenlavawell... I had the same mindset, but, I recently watched a interview where the invited was a neurologist, he said that both children like adults have the same brain plasticity.
@@Moltenlava yes, an adult can leverage more complex thinking to learn in more ways and much more efficiently. That doesn’t change the fact that you need to use the language, speak it with other people and allow yourself to experience the uncomfortable process of trial and error to really become fluent. No amount of flashcards and grammar study can replace real emersion in the language. All formal language study does is assist and speed up the process. But we still _learn_ the language the same way children do.

The 4 day work week is for people who want to devote their own time to their own interests. I have a lot to do, but it’s not necessarily what I’m being paid for.
Exactly. We can't all have jobs that inspire us to work at it 24/7, so we need time after the work is done to do the actually interesting things. I *used* to do physics and yeah I didn't mind working a lot because it was kind of fun and I didn't have a family, but it didn't pay the bills and didn't have any job security. Now I earn two or three times what I did as a scientist, and yeah it's more boring but I am not working a minute outside my 9-5 4 days a week, and overall life is better.

"If you can even want something in the first place, you are probably qualified to achieve it." Can't remember where I heard this, but one of the most profound sayings I've come across
hey that's a good one... it takes DOING the process needed to get there too.. that's key to it too.. Potential Techniques talks about that for getting through tough times and building things up etc
I don't know why they all try to make so-called hard work difficult. It's something you are passionate about, you love it, hence, you are able to do it more than others.
You have a good point, but is interesting think that people say that bc they know how is have that things. Anyway, we should wait to get thats achiviement that they have :)
@@OverSmart13 that is... literally the point of the video. Working hard IS the talent. There's no innate talent that automatically makes you the best at something
This is probably one of the best life advice one can get. The hard part is not understanding this fact but having enough discipline and drive to study a certain subject.
Probably the most motivational video I've watched in a long time. They are all my mentors in a way - the reason why i'm dedicated to learning SWE is because of Systrom and my motivation to go into AI is because of Andrej and Lex. The notion of "I can learn anything" is because of Feynman. Great video!!
I needed to hear this. I've been fighting myself for years. Logic vs emotions. I'm normally very emotional (inside not necessarily expressive). Yet, i've been studying electrical and electronics for a LONG TIME. Always questioning.. "do others GET this stuff?" Yes, they do.. but only after that threshold of experience, training and education, of "AHA". Some may never reach that due to lack of time and or interest. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. No matter the field. You are human, ANYTHING you want to learn is within reach. Literally, with Tube here.
the main things we should focus on are to protect our passion on something we are interested and keep improving by spending time on doing it with ACTION. Do not compare yourself with others, do not be little yourself, do not discouraged yourself. As long as you can keep doing it, you will unlock your maximum potential in your life.
Don’t think just by watching these videos you are doing something productive . You have to put all that effort they say in practice so start doing . Best day to start was yesterday next best day to start is today.
I wish he was right. I personnaly studied extremely hard to join french elite schools. People use to tell me that I am brilliant. But what I know deep inside from first hand experience is that they are people who understand things faster than me. These 2 qualities help tremendously when you compete with others in exams for instance. And although I did very well in academics, I was always frustrated when I had to work for the exact same result twice as hard as people who had these extraordinary abilities. And believe me, the same way they are people taller and stronger than most of us they are people like Feynman who are more intelligent than 99,99% of us. and whatever you do, you can not catch up with them. You just have to accept and watch them shine.
As someone considered to be "way faster" than my peers, I can tell you that's BS. Every single student that gets there has to work their absolute hardest. What is perceived as "talent" has more to do with the background or privileges a person might've had prior to a certain point. Do some research on Feynman's own early life and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
As someone (at least for some time) considered faster then my peers, I agree that hard work is part of it, but still there are people studying harder and achiving less, then others who didn't study at all.
Feynman's IQ was actually pretty much average. I think if I'm not mistaken it was something like 120. It's BS. Sure, there are some people that will understand concepts better than you. But there is nothing that thousands of hours of work won't make up. They might work a hundred hours: work ten times more than that and you'll be better. It's difficult: but not impossible to catch up with so called "brilliant people"
You're wrong. That's your opinion. People get far with talent but yet they still really need to work hard. In your case you're saying as if you had no talent well neither do I i feel that but if you're pointing out that you're slower than them and need to work twice in order to get the same result? Give me a break, you choose wisely, fail and watch them shine and shine with them? Don't even think you can't out shine them you probably don't even know their secrets they might be someone who has no talents in mathematics, an iq of only 120 but despite that they are knowledgeable and have extremely good problem solving skills 😂 cmon, don't compare yourself to them!! Hasn't the video already mentioned everything? I'm saying this as a grade 11 student i'm not some college student like you guys but i understand this things and I won't ever give in into those kinds of doubts and thoughts I choose to fight cuz I'd rather die than not.
You know, tomorro i'm going to graduate. I always tend to belittle my work and efforts, but this video really put me in the mood. Even if I still don't feel like I've arrived, it doesn't mean I haven't come a long way. it won't be the final goal, but it still deserves to be celebrated. thanks for the inspiration
It's not just a video, it's Feynman himself talking about his own experience. But, of cuorse, I guess people should listen to your wiser opinion since you know better than himself about his own mind.
There are two kinds of geniuses, the “ordinary” and the “magicians.” An ordinary genius is a fellow that you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they have done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. They are, to use mathematical jargon, in the orthogonal complement of where we are and the working of their minds is for all intents and purposes incomprehensible. Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students because they cannot be emulated and it must be terribly frustrating for a brilliant young mind to cope with the mysterious ways in which the magician’s mind works. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber. -Mark Kac, quoted by James Gleick in Genius@@keizan5132
There are pictures of Feynman's high school Calculus notebook online. It's fascinating to look at as you can see how detailed his notes were on every chapter, to the point that he even made a table of contents for his own notes. So despite having an extraordinary intellect he also put in the work and studied harder than most of his peers, which is applicable and a great lesson for anyone whether genius or not.
My takeaway from this is that if I believe I'm talented in something, it's actually not that easy. It becomes depressing sometimes to learn that all that praise earned is just something I had no role in getting. So when I learn that this bottom-up approach to expertise is good, so must the role of top down be modest. I'll now tell myself that if I do something well, I've surely put in the work.
"Only compare yourself to you from some time ago. Are you better than you year ago?" That’s high-quality advice. I think comparison is a problem that has been increasing over the years. It’s too easy to see “successful people” on social media talking about how they've achieved their success and have a "perfect life". This can sometimes make us feel frustrated because we work as hard as we can and we don’t see the results as quickly as others claim. We start asking ourselves, am I taking the right path? Should I be doing this for longer? Focus on yourself, make your progress, and engage in something that matters to you. Remember, comparison is the thief of happiness.
There is only half a truth here. Hard work is a necessary condition for brilliance, but it most certainly is not sufficient. The fundamental bottleneck encountered as your progress to higher and higher echelons of a technical field is the rate at which you learn - that is certainly not constant from person to person and is not solely a function of method or time investment. That is what talent really represents, the ability to learn fast. By learn, I mean assimilating the known ideas and being able to use them in the invention new ideas. The speed with which ideas can be generated and then fully considered is key in determining progress.
@@suryanshu8692 yeah why do mathematicians try for 150 plus years to prove Riemann's hypothesis ? You should just "train" your brain to be powerful enough and then solve the problem for them.
I wish this video was longer, very well made!! Loved the advice at 2:24, I constantly compare myself to others, especially people I used to be in classes with in college, seeing them with all these great jobs while I currently dont. But I am only going to compare myself to myself from last year, last 6 months, last month from now on
That's when you are called as 'Expert' or 'Professional', and you join the elite club. But it only takes 2 things to get there: A sprinkle of passion or interest and a sea full of Determination and Resilience
There is a small contingent of people who cannot focus on things they consider mundane or uninteresting who become obsessed with things that interest them. They have no problem “over working” and constantly thinking about the things that interest them. In fact, many of these people have ADD and grew up being told they were not smart enough because they could not concentrate or do simple things like remember to turn in their homework. When they find something that triggers the excitement and the redemption of not being “lazy”, “stupid”, or “absent minded”, they excel. Never discount those people before they find their “spark”- help them find it!
Working really hard towards anything is the most satisfying in life. End result or end of life itself is not important, it's the journey, that is important.
At age 6, a very good friend of mine was able to resolve x-y 2 factors equations, that you normally learn at age 14. I think talent exist. However I think talent without work is just capabilities...
I did that at 8. No special talent at all, I had an uncle who studied engineering and taught me. It's all about having contact with it at an early age, "the strength of the habltude" And, of cuorse, about having the passion to comtinue on that path.
This quote "the successful warrior is the average man with laser like focus" don't know where it is from but it relates to what feynman said. We are all humans, varying talents and strengths, but when we put time on something that we care about and want to get better at, we can get surprisingly far. DAMN
This works when you're doing work that you love doing for yourself or a certain goal. It shouldn't be applied to normal jobs or careers, where the goal should be do a good amount and then come back to your life, family and friends. Not everybody needs to be a prodigy, a normal existence is nothing to be ashamed of. This hustle culture has become very toxic.
I think the issue becomes that if you grow up from a financial disadvantage it will put you behind others in terms of probability of success. Imagine having to choose between working or going to school? I don't know about you but I cannot study on an empty study as much as I have tried lol. The point I am making is you are more likely to succeed if you have a stabilized upbringing with at least one parent who is working so you can be provided with basic things and kind of like Maslow's hierarchy - You will only begin to be able to achieve more once your basic needs are being met, you can begin to focus intently on other areas of personal development. For example, I missed a lot of school when I was younger due to a bad home situation and then had to work from my teens in an almost full-time capacity to help pay off debts that my mother had, so of course I dreamed about wanting to go and study, and go to university. But it wasn't until I was 30 that I finally got the financial opportunity to, and now even after qualifying, I now get discriminated against by recruiters due to being 35 yrs old and only just qualifying in my profession! Such as life right?
It's undeniable that hard work is required for excellency, but that doesn't change the fact that almost no one of us has what it takes to do what Feynman did.

"It has been reported-including by Feynman himself-that he only obtained a score of 125 on a school IQ test. I suspect that this test emphasized verbal, as opposed to mathematical, ability. Feynman received the highest score in the country by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam, although he joined the MIT team on short notice and did not prepare for the test."

This whole "hard work" mantra that 'muricans preach...it is quite laughable. There is ZERO correlation between "hard work" (and who's defining that, btw) and success. If you are interested in something, it isn't work and you will naturally devote more time to it than the "average" person. Some are more gifted than others in areas, as well. As for the 4-day workweek, it's brilliant in today's world. So is working from home for many professions. The part by Richard Feynman I totally agree with.
Terence Tao and Grigori Perelman are great examples of living breathing "miracle people". Ofc almost everyone can achieve mundane greatness with a lot of hard work. However 99.999999999% of the population of earth no matter how hard they work even if they had 10 lifetimes instead of one would still not be able to even come remotely close to solving a millennium problem.

I think the caveat is you have to find something you love that you are willing to put that type of hard work in. I'm 56 and have never found something I love that much that I would put that much time into.
2:03 hated the contradiction there when he says: 'there's some sense of determinism' replacing causality with determinism and then goes on to say '...IF you spend 10.000 hours' which implies free will, free choice conditionality🤦🤷♂️
the thing about the 4 day work week is not about accomplishing things, it's about retaining people to do work that's not as interesting, by people not obsessed with it. Try forcing a 4 day work week on someone that anyways thinks physics everyday. You'll work a little bit of physics 7 days a week, probably more than a little bit too.
Exactly! I think that guy had some sort of disconnect with the situation. Like I don’t know what his point was. Like, okay so you can’t get enough of what you specifically want done in a 7 day work week, so are you saying that everyone should be working as much as possible? No matter who they work for or what they do? Like mentally that’s not possible.
In my personal experience thats not always true. Sure, hard work often pays of, but there are people who need to study more and some who need to do it less and some not at all. I study physics myself and am very passionate about it and like to work hard, but there are a lot of people who just have some kind of deeper understanding from the beginning on. Of course they also study hard, but when I study hard I get to the point where they startet from and they get to a completely different point. I mean I'm still good enough to get a degree, understand a lot of things and be happy with that, but I know it wouldn't make sense to become like an theoretical physicist. Cause I know, I would never stand a chance against the real pros and would probably be sad in the end. What I wanna say: do something where hard work really pays of
I am a physics student too and being in college level academia has given me a rude awakening. I used to believe in the hard work mythology until I met students in physics who naturally grasped almost any math/physics concept they came across that may take me a whole semester to even begin to wrap my head around. After getting my degree I am quitting physics too. My brain is not built for that stuff.
Interesting stuff, but some of it is rubbish. The 10,000 hour idea was created by K. Anders Ericsson studying violinists. It doesn't apply to other fields. Also the 10,000 hours requires "deliberate practice", not just 10.000 hours, as stated by one of the speakers. Plus worthy of note is the N.Y. Times best seller "Moon Walking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer. Foer worked with the help of Ericsson to become the U.S. memory champion, in less than a year. He worked about half an hour a day. So in less than 200 hours he became a world class expert. Unfortunately it didn't occur to Foer that he had shown the 10,000 hour rule is rubbish.
There is such a thing as muscle memory, or even, the equivalent such memory for mental learning. And this is a passive sort of practice that goes on even if you aren’t actively performing a task. It is impacted by, as you say, “deliberate practice,” as your mind is formulating and integrating what you have done into natural habit. So this would validate the 10,000 hour idea, but the 10,000 idea is really generalized and is really only meant to serve as a rough marker of how long it will take from the onset of learning a skill to the mastering of it.
@@NutjobChuckin this other Hand it is proven, that you need to Take Breaks. Because your brain does stuff while you are not learning. There isnt Just studying hard, but also studying smart.

Find interest in what you are learning. Learn to love the prerequisites and what go along with it. Just start caring. That's what started working for me. I used to have to cram terminology and formulas I would forget the next day. I just recently thought about actually caring and being interested in things for their own sake, and within about two months Ives probably tripled my knowledge of subjects. Not just memorized but actually understood
@ 1:25 "but when I read about companies going to 4 day week work, I chuckle, I can't get enough done with a 7 day week" This guy is probably an entrepreneur. If he was an employee, he'd have been fired for not doing enough in a 7 day work week. I wonder what he does that even a 7 day work week is short for him. In today's job market, employees are replaceable, if not with another employee, with computers, machinery, etc. With a 4 day work week, you'll have time to upskill yourself so you don't become irrelevant.
One thing about the 10,000 hours. Those have to be good, focused and meaningful hours. Which usually means about 20,000 hours where 1/2 of the time is productive by means of doing things "the right way" and the other half 1/2 is learning what doesn't work and iterating. It's the hours where you mess something up and back-track which count the most, not just the hours of clean straight-ahead productivity.
This is absolutely inspirational and it's what I believe wholeheartedly. Well I can't get done with genius and nuance I will get done with brute force persistence curiosity and passion. I look at where I was and where I am now and the difference is literally night and day

Once you start doing, failing, finding out ways, keep on trying, after consistent effort, it seems possible and now you are unstoppable because now you are enjoying the challenges. Here we go.

Intelligence will always gets you farther than hard work. Hard work has minimal influence on success. Talent is the most influential factor
@@octavioavila6548 We know that isn’t true.
Everyone has IQ and it increases through experience and studying (a lot more ways than you can imagine). Hard work is essential of making our neurons more pathways throughout the brain which greatly improves cognitive functions. But of course, intelligence and EQ on how you find answers is indeed important, but without hard work it is pointless if there is no long-term action (hard work is accompanied with discipline) because improvement requires different experiences and knowledges. ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ -Albert Einstein
You have to work hard first because talent isn’t everything.
Edit: My correction to your sentence would be, Hard work will always get you farther than talent. My mother who is great at math and is able to understand Calculus easily had difficulties with advanced topics which means you need more than just talent. And I who had terrible talent and no passion for math took me a while to complete my study, but I got better at understanding advanced topics due to the basics I’ve built up.
(But I do agree that intelligence will definitely get you farther. But IQ isn’t simple, it can be improved through constant practice, discipline, and studying. Hard work is the process of increasing your IQ.)
Great advice: don't compare yourself with others, but rather with who you were some time ago. If you see others doing better than you, admire and learn from them. Then, strive to improve.

It's really something I needed to hear. I never worked hard in my life. To get my high school diploma, I never studied, but I got it. At university I dropped from Theoretial Physics as I didn't want to work and I knew I was about to fail as what I did in high shcool would not worked there. So I applied for my first programmer job and got it. 17 years later, I'm a software developer working for a big company. My coworkers all have phd's or master degree and I make a good amount of money. But I still have this dream to become an astrophysicist. So here I'm, going back to university to become what I wanted, ready to work hard to get it.
U will absolutely achieve your dream!!!
I know a guy who went back to get an astrophysics degree in his 30s after working as a network engineer.
@@debrachambers1304did he finish?
I'm at a similar roadblock. Kinda breezed through high school without putting in any actual effort, now stuck at college, trying to get through Computer Science, restarted (switched schools) 2 times now. Still not sure how to become adept at working hard.
I'm rooting for you mate!
i think it’s less about active studying as it is thinking about it ALL the time. active studying matters but when you love something you don’t stop studying when you close a textbook. i’d bet people like feynman never stop thinking about how the world works
Oh yeah, he says he does calculus when he is eating, driving and even when talking to his wife.
I'd say anyone who's studying/reaserching something that really pokes their interest would probably do the same or similar if not same. For example I in generally love biology chemistry and physics and when I stop studying I'd continue thinking about them in the background of my mind. Sometimes if I'm sitting with someone while thinking they'd be mad at me for "not being here" and not talking to them so yeah I think it's all about interest + the more you know the more information you have to use to think.
I know he didn’t ever stop because I never stop thinking about how the universe works. If I do it, then no doubt Feynman did
That's true of many artists and musicians also. I have a friend who's a classical composer. Sometimes when she's working on a new piece she'll forget to eat or sleep for a day or two.
The problem is a lot of people have to study with purely utilitarian or professional ends, which preclude this genuine and constant interest.

"What I cannot create, I don't understand" - Mr. Feynman
To make an image of what he says, kids learn their first language by listening, talking, making mistakes and practicing without worrying about looking silly. How they do NOT learn is by sitting down and cramming grammar rules and aiming at perfect spelling on the first try. That's how you ''study hard'' and ''study smart''.
That's just wrong. I mean if you have to sound like a 4 year old you could have a go at it but grammar, active listening, learning from your past mistakes etc. are simply THE way to learn a language. Not to mention a child's world is small and a number of things you have to know is ridiculously limited which is alright for a child but not for an adult.
@@СергейПлугатырёв that would mean people before formal education didn’t learn their languages past the level of a 4 yo.. nonsense.
You don’t learn your first language in school, you learn it by trial and error.
That said, formal language training applied effectively utilizes the high intelligence, focus and experience of adults to learn languages in a more time efficient manner.
A childs brain and an adults brain are radically different when it come to learning
@@Moltenlavawell... I had the same mindset, but, I recently watched a interview where the invited was a neurologist, he said that both children like adults have the same brain plasticity.
@@Moltenlava yes, an adult can leverage more complex thinking to learn in more ways and much more efficiently.
That doesn’t change the fact that you need to use the language, speak it with other people and allow yourself to experience the uncomfortable process of trial and error to really become fluent.
No amount of flashcards and grammar study can replace real emersion in the language. All formal language study does is assist and speed up the process. But we still _learn_ the language the same way children do.
00:06 Studying and hard work are key to understanding complex subjects
00:41 Obsession can lead to great accomplishments.
01:09 Changing the world requires hard work
01:35 Focus on how much you do rather than just working smart

The 4 day work week is for people who want to devote their own time to their own interests.

Exactly. We can't all have jobs that inspire us to work at it 24/7, so we need time after the work is done to do the actually interesting things. I *used* to do physics and yeah I didn't mind working a lot because it was kind of fun and I didn't have a family, but it didn't pay the bills and didn't have any job security. Now I earn two or three times what I did as a scientist, and yeah it's more boring but I am not working a minute outside my 9-5 4 days a week, and overall life is better.

Bcoz they know 😊
@@OverSmart13 that is... literally the point of the video. Working hard IS the talent. There's no innate talent that automatically makes you the best at something
Thing about Feynman was he was an expert in getting down to the core principles of things.
This is probably one of the best life advice one can get. The hard part is not understanding this fact but having enough discipline and drive to study a certain subject.
Probably the most motivational video I've watched in a long time. They are all my mentors in a way - the reason why i'm dedicated to learning SWE is because of Systrom and my motivation to go into AI is because of Andrej and Lex. The notion of "I can learn anything" is because of Feynman. Great video!!
Oh wow I am also learning ai because of lex
Going into SWE is the right way to go for AI. Be able to build finished product.
Being a master at something is 10% talent and 90% hard work
I needed to hear this. I've been fighting myself for years. Logic vs emotions. I'm normally very emotional (inside not necessarily expressive). Yet, i've been studying electrical and electronics for a LONG TIME. Always questioning.. "do others GET this stuff?" Yes, they do.. but only after that threshold of experience, training and education, of "AHA". Some may never reach that due to lack of time and or interest. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. No matter the field. You are human, ANYTHING you want to learn is within reach. Literally, with Tube here.
the main things we should focus on are to protect our passion on something we are interested and keep improving by spending time on doing it with ACTION. Do not compare yourself with others, do not be little yourself, do not discouraged yourself. As long as you can keep doing it, you will unlock your maximum potential in your life.

Don’t think just by watching these videos you are doing something productive . You have to put all that effort they say in practice so start doing . Best day to start was yesterday next best day to start is today.
To excel in any field you need to work smart and hard. This is what I gathered from this video
Upto 10000hrs
I wish he was right. I personnaly studied extremely hard to join french elite schools. People use to tell me that I am brilliant. But what I know deep inside from first hand experience is that they are people who understand things faster than me. These 2 qualities help tremendously when you compete with others in exams for instance. And although I did very well in academics, I was always frustrated when I had to work for the exact same result twice as hard as people who had these extraordinary abilities. And believe me, the same way they are people taller and stronger than most of us they are people like Feynman who are more intelligent than 99,99% of us. and whatever you do, you can not catch up with them. You just have to accept and watch them shine.
As someone considered to be "way faster" than my peers, I can tell you that's BS. Every single student that gets there has to work their absolute hardest. What is perceived as "talent" has more to do with the background or privileges a person might've had prior to a certain point. Do some research on Feynman's own early life and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
As someone (at least for some time) considered faster then my peers, I agree that hard work is part of it, but still there are people studying harder and achiving less, then others who didn't study at all.
Feynman's IQ was actually pretty much average. I think if I'm not mistaken it was something like 120. It's BS. Sure, there are some people that will understand concepts better than you. But there is nothing that thousands of hours of work won't make up. They might work a hundred hours: work ten times more than that and you'll be better. It's difficult: but not impossible to catch up with so called "brilliant people"
You're wrong. That's your opinion. People get far with talent but yet they still really need to work hard. In your case you're saying as if you had no talent well neither do I i feel that but if you're pointing out that you're slower than them and need to work twice in order to get the same result? Give me a break, you choose wisely, fail and watch them shine and shine with them? Don't even think you can't out shine them you probably don't even know their secrets they might be someone who has no talents in mathematics, an iq of only 120 but despite that they are knowledgeable and have extremely good problem solving skills 😂 cmon, don't compare yourself to them!! Hasn't the video already mentioned everything? I'm saying this as a grade 11 student i'm not some college student like you guys but i understand this things and I won't ever give in into those kinds of doubts and thoughts I choose to fight cuz I'd rather die than not.

Don't let this video fool you. Feynman was an extraordinary genius.
It's not just a video, it's Feynman himself talking about his own experience. But, of cuorse, I guess people should listen to your wiser opinion since you know better than himself about his own mind.
There are two kinds of geniuses, the “ordinary” and the “magicians.” An ordinary genius is a fellow that you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they have done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. They are, to use mathematical jargon, in the orthogonal complement of where we are and the working of their minds is for all intents and purposes incomprehensible. Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students because they cannot be emulated and it must be terribly frustrating for a brilliant young mind to cope with the mysterious ways in which the magician’s mind works. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber.
-Mark Kac, quoted by James Gleick in Genius@@keizan5132
There are pictures of Feynman's high school Calculus notebook online. It's fascinating to look at as you can see how detailed his notes were on every chapter, to the point that he even made a table of contents for his own notes. So despite having an extraordinary intellect he also put in the work and studied harder than most of his peers, which is applicable and a great lesson for anyone whether genius or not.
one word :
INTERESTED.
Thank you.
Feynman is not just a physicist, he's an artist
My takeaway from this is that if I believe I'm talented in something, it's actually not that easy. It becomes depressing sometimes to learn that all that praise earned is just something I had no role in getting. So when I learn that this bottom-up approach to expertise is good, so must the role of top down be modest. I'll now tell myself that if I do something well, I've surely put in the work.
Great

"Only compare yourself to you from some time ago. Are you better than you year ago?" That’s high-quality advice. I think comparison is a problem that has been increasing over the years. It’s too easy to see “successful people” on social media talking about how they've achieved their success and have a "perfect life". This can sometimes make us feel frustrated because we work as hard as we can and we don’t see the results as quickly as others claim. We start asking ourselves, am I taking the right path? Should I be doing this for longer?
Focus on yourself, make your progress, and engage in something that matters to you. Remember, comparison is the thief of happiness.
'hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.'
There is only half a truth here. Hard work is a necessary condition for brilliance, but it most certainly is not sufficient. The fundamental bottleneck encountered as your progress to higher and higher echelons of a technical field is the rate at which you learn - that is certainly not constant from person to person and is not solely a function of method or time investment. That is what talent really represents, the ability to learn fast. By learn, I mean assimilating the known ideas and being able to use them in the invention new ideas. The speed with which ideas can be generated and then fully considered is key in determining progress.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
this man changed the field of sciences for ever he made science avilable to all
There is a small contingent of people who cannot focus on things they consider mundane or uninteresting who become obsessed with things that interest them. They have no problem “over working” and constantly thinking about the things that interest them. In fact, many of these people have ADD and grew up being told they were not smart enough because they could not concentrate or do simple things like remember to turn in their homework. When they find something that triggers the excitement and the redemption of not being “lazy”, “stupid”, or “absent minded”, they excel. Never discount those people before they find their “spark”- help them find it!

End result or end of life itself is not important, it's the journey, that is important.
At age 6, a very good friend of mine was able to resolve x-y 2 factors equations, that you normally learn at age 14. I think talent exist. However I think talent without work is just capabilities...
I did that at 8. No special talent at all, I had an uncle who studied engineering and taught me. It's all about having contact with it at an early age, "the strength of the habltude"
And, of cuorse, about having the passion to comtinue on that path.
This quote "the successful warrior is the average man with laser like focus" don't know where it is from but it relates to what feynman said. We are all humans, varying talents and strengths, but when we put time on something that we care about and want to get better at, we can get surprisingly far. DAMN
This works when you're doing work that you love doing for yourself or a certain goal. It shouldn't be applied to normal jobs or careers, where the goal should be do a good amount and then come back to your life, family and friends. Not everybody needs to be a prodigy, a normal existence is nothing to be ashamed of. This hustle culture has become very toxic.

I think the issue becomes that if you grow up from a financial disadvantage it will put you behind others in terms of probability of success.
Imagine having to choose between working or going to school? I don't know about you but I cannot study on an empty study as much as I have tried lol.
The point I am making is you are more likely to succeed if you have a stabilized upbringing with at least one parent who is working so you can be provided with basic things and kind of like Maslow's hierarchy - You will only begin to be able to achieve more once your basic needs are being met, you can begin to focus intently on other areas of personal development.
For example, I missed a lot of school when I was younger due to a bad home situation and then had to work from my teens in an almost full-time capacity to help pay off debts that my mother had, so of course I dreamed about wanting to go and study, and go to university. But it wasn't until I was 30 that I finally got the financial opportunity to, and now even after qualifying, I now get discriminated against by recruiters due to being 35 yrs old and only just qualifying in my profession!
Such as life right?
It's undeniable that hard work is required for excellency, but that doesn't change the fact that almost no one of us has what it takes to do what Feynman did.

"It has been reported-including by Feynman himself-that he only obtained a score of 125 on a school IQ test. I suspect that this test emphasized verbal, as opposed to mathematical, ability. Feynman received the highest score in the country by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam, although he joined the MIT team on short notice and did not prepare for the test."

This whole "hard work" mantra that 'muricans preach...it is quite laughable. There is ZERO correlation between "hard work" (and who's defining that, btw) and success. If you are interested in something, it isn't work and you will naturally devote more time to it than the "average" person. Some are more gifted than others in areas, as well.

'GOT INTERESTED ' is the key word here.

the thing about the 4 day work week is not about accomplishing things, it's about retaining people to do work that's not as interesting, by people not obsessed with it. Try forcing a 4 day work week on someone that anyways thinks physics everyday. You'll work a little bit of physics 7 days a week, probably more than a little bit too.
Exactly! I think that guy had some sort of disconnect with the situation. Like I don’t know what his point was. Like, okay so you can’t get enough of what you specifically want done in a 7 day work week, so are you saying that everyone should be working as much as possible? No matter who they work for or what they do? Like mentally that’s not possible.
Yes for a supposed smart person that was a pretty dumb thing for that guy to say.
I like the last guys interview. It kinda helped me make a choice. Over trying to not make mistakes and fear of wasted time.
In my personal experience thats not always true. Sure, hard work often pays of, but there are people who need to study more and some who need to do it less and some not at all.
I study physics myself and am very passionate about it and like to work hard, but there are a lot of people who just have some kind of deeper understanding from the beginning on. Of course they also study hard, but when I study hard I get to the point where they startet from and they get to a completely different point.
I mean I'm still good enough to get a degree, understand a lot of things and be happy with that, but I know it wouldn't make sense to become like an theoretical physicist. Cause I know, I would never stand a chance against the real pros and would probably be sad in the end.
What I wanna say: do something where hard work really pays of
I am a physics student too and being in college level academia has given me a rude awakening. I used to believe in the hard work mythology until I met students in physics who naturally grasped almost any math/physics concept they came across that may take me a whole semester to even begin to wrap my head around. After getting my degree I am quitting physics too. My brain is not built for that stuff.

Interesting stuff, but some of it is rubbish. The 10,000 hour idea was created by K. Anders Ericsson studying violinists. It doesn't apply to other fields. Also the 10,000 hours requires "deliberate practice", not just 10.000 hours, as stated by one of the speakers.
Plus worthy of note is the N.Y. Times best seller "Moon Walking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer. Foer worked with the help of Ericsson to become the U.S. memory champion, in less than a year. He worked about half an hour a day. So in less than 200 hours he became a world class expert. Unfortunately it didn't occur to Foer that he had shown the 10,000 hour rule is rubbish.
There is such a thing as muscle memory, or even, the equivalent such memory for mental learning. And this is a passive sort of practice that goes on even if you aren’t actively performing a task. It is impacted by, as you say, “deliberate practice,” as your mind is formulating and integrating what you have done into natural habit. So this would validate the 10,000 hour idea, but the 10,000 idea is really generalized and is really only meant to serve as a rough marker of how long it will take from the onset of learning a skill to the mastering of it.
@@NutjobChuckin this other Hand it is proven, that you need to Take Breaks. Because your brain does stuff while you are not learning. There isnt Just studying hard, but also studying smart.

It isn't just his opinion. He published data on violinists why supported the claim and thought it extended to other fields.
Bro don't miss you have life you have goal intiatid destined from the first day you start thinking maturely that need to be achieved spending 10k for your dream is likely year and half from deeply work is nothing from what I belive

Failed chatbot.
I think the key is you really have to be obsessed and enjoy the work. Then it doesn’t become work, it becomes an avocation.
this motivated me for my upcoming physics and computer science exams, thank you
Find interest in what you are learning. Learn to love the prerequisites and what go along with it.
Just start caring. That's what started working for me. I used to have to cram terminology and formulas I would forget the next day.
I just recently thought about actually caring and being interested in things for their own sake, and within about two months Ives probably tripled my knowledge of subjects. Not just memorized but actually understood
@ 1:25 "but when I read about companies going to 4 day week work, I chuckle, I can't get enough done with a 7 day week"
This guy is probably an entrepreneur. If he was an employee, he'd have been fired for not doing enough in a 7 day work week. I wonder what he does that even a 7 day work week is short for him.
In today's job market, employees are replaceable, if not with another employee, with computers, machinery, etc. With a 4 day work week, you'll have time to upskill yourself so you don't become irrelevant.
One thing about the 10,000 hours.
Those have to be good, focused and meaningful hours. Which usually means about 20,000 hours where 1/2 of the time is productive by means of doing things "the right way" and the other half 1/2 is learning what doesn't work and iterating.
It's the hours where you mess something up and back-track which count the most, not just the hours of clean straight-ahead productivity.
No hard work needed. Just to understand. What skills you mastered now, is all because you understand it.😊
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This is absolutely inspirational and it's what I believe wholeheartedly. Well I can't get done with genius and nuance I will get done with brute force persistence curiosity and passion. I look at where I was and where I am now and the difference is literally night and day
How to be born a genius
It is not necessary to be motivated to do hard work, one must have discipline to do it.
" I was an ordinary student"
Also him : solving integral calculus at the age of 12.
But don't people start doing differential and integral calculus at age 14 and 15 at school, in year 9 and 10?
actually, the school system has changed, nowadays, integrals are late-teached compared to how it was old.
@@edits_heimer not in India brother.. here a good number of children start learning basics of calculus as early from grade 8 or9 and all have to start ir by grade 11
@@DrYou-Mbbs_edu in icse that is
@@dsingsit my school is a cbse and a show off so they start early.. like for me it was 9th grade but by 11th im pretty sure all students i.e those who are in Science stream at least have to learn basics of calculus
Its difficult untill you think instead of doing. Once you start doing, failing, finding out ways, keep on trying, after consistent effort, it seems possible and now you are unstoppable because now you are enjoying the challenges. Here we go. Now if you are already smart you fail less learn fast, figure out things quickly but its not impossible for anyone.
I am not very smart but figured things out.
One more thing, reason to do all this bullshit should be very strong. Otherwise your mind will always convice you to watch movies, webseries, play video games instead of doing hard work. But if your why is strong than nothing can stop you. You are all the way up.

@@nexuscross3233 Exactly, the average human being’s brain capacity is larger than any super computer ever made, and by a LOT, to the point of petabytes
@@Mechanicaa Human memory, in fact is so vast, there really isn't a way to measure it. I had researched this some time ago and found it very interesting. The best conclusion I found was that the human limit of memory is equivalent to living more than 3 centuries. No wonder people with perfect memory exist, they are proof, although genetic outliers.
Newton, Mozart and Einstein you mention... well, there has to be a higher league... a natural ability... like Usain Bolt at running(no matter how hard I practice, I can't run like him)... otherwise human race and even its progress will seem so utterly dull!! They hit orbits we can't, but we replicate as much as we can to fill in the gap... and thats how we move forward, isn't it?
One of the best clickbait I have ever seen.
Don't prepare for an exam.
Prepare an exam.
You will learn a lot more that way.
What do you mean by that ?
You may not be able to learn everything, but believe that you can learn anything.
Why put Richard Feynman in the title, if you are including all others. They are brilliant folks too, but don't use Feynman's name on the video. You must be a computer scientist to put Carmack, and Karpathy. It's all good. Good video anyhow. :)

No amount of hard work can make you a major league baseball player if you don't have the talent. No one can stidy hard enough to win a Nobel Prize if they don't have the talent. Hard work can only get you so far.
H'es not talking about a nobel prize. He said can anyone understand Quantum Mechanics and become a scientist, provided they study hard. The fact is most people can contribute to science if they really want to
